Iowa Senate OKs school aid formula amid eight hour debate
The Iowa Senate approved a 378.9 million dollar state aid plan for public schools and sent it back to the House after long debate between rural and urban interests. The bill sets 10 percent allowable growth for 1975-76, higher than Gov. Ray’s recommendation, and includes phantom students adjustments and tax provisions to fund drivers education and the Iowa Public Employee Retirement System.
